Datasets
Administrative Data | Agricultural Research Collection – England and Wales
The AD|ARC (Administrative Data | Agricultural Research Collection) datasets link information on farm business activities with data about the people in households who operate and generally live on farms. All records are de-identified. The datasets also include three control groups of non-farming individuals, and a control group of households, living in similarly rural areas. Research using the data will enable better understanding of the demographic, health, education and economic characteristics of households associated with different types and sizes of farm business. This will provide new insights for decision makers to improve agricultural and rural policies and enhance the wellbeing of farmers and their households.
